Sioux CITY. Iowa, December 2.-To-day
has been one Of the most important days
in the trial OF Arensdorf for the murder Of

testified that from about 10 o'clock until
the fatal shot was fired on the night
of the murder, he was in Sheperd's sa-
loon and restaurant, aid that Arcnsdorf
was not there. The importance OF this
evidence consists of the fact that Shep.

himself 1T the moment OF the murder, and
some ii ne before, and is Ii vital part

Weakening the Liberal Party.

LONDON, December 2-Gladstone, in q
letter, contends the dissidents have de.
parted from the Wing traditions in oppos.
ing constitutional rsiorms in Ireland, and
have narrowed the spirit and visns OF the
Liberal party, breaking the old and ~invslu-
able habit OF the Liberal parry in England,
which has heretofore regarded the liberal
artist o and Liberal leisure class as the
actual leaders OF the Liberal movement
These dissidents have separated classes
from masses and he fears the permanent
weakening OF the party unless the higher
class OF dissidents return to their allegiance
to old principles.

The Democrats Unite Upon = Plan Of Ac-
ton on the New Senators.
WASHINGTON, December ga fully at
tended caucus OF Democratic Senators con.
vened this afternoon to hear a final report
from the committee appointed to outline q
plan Of action with regard to the admis-
sion OF the new Democratic Senators
against whose title some question has been
raised. A committee consisting Of Sena-
tors Psgb, Blackburn. Harris and Vest re-
ported it had carefully considered all the
facts in the cases OF Senators Turpie, of In
diana, Faulkner, OF West Virginia, and all
the other new Democratic Senators and
reached the conclusion that all were fully
entitled to their seats. It was unanimous
~ resolved that the entire list Of new Dem
ocratic Senators we're entitled to their
seats, and in SO far as Democrats could in
duence the matter they should be
sworn in Monday. The unanimous opinion
of the caucus was that no departure from
precedent should be made and no obstacle
to the admission oil all the Senators elect
should be anticipated. The committee also
reported they bad examined all the creden-
tials OF the Republican Senators elect and
several upon which objections could
LEGIrIMATELY BE BASED.
The facts were laid before the caucus and
discussed, but the defects being merely
technical, it was determined to make no
objection unless objections were made BY
the Republicans to the admission OF Demo
Gratis. An understanding was reached, |
that should the admission OF any
Democratic Senator be objected to the
party would act AS q unit accord
Ins as circumstances might seem to require. !
It wss made known that the Democrats /
1eld the advantage in the fact that Sena-
.or Jones of Nevada is absent and paired I
With Senator Hearst who begins a new
:erm and is therefore not yet a Senator. |
Upon request Of the Republicans tho caucus |
once assented to the plan proposed by |
Kenna, who has charge OF the |
Democratic pairs, to pairing Senator Jones
With some Democrat already sworn in. !
This reduces the voting strength OF each |
to twenty-four. Senators Be,k and |
Aenna we're elected respectively chairman
md secretary Of the Democratic caucus to
during the coming session.
